I've been going back and forth for a while now trying to figure out whether or not I want to try and get a square H&A or Cushion cut modern or antique faceted stone for my lady. She likes the look of the chunky modern faceting in a cushion, but I want optimal light performance and something that shines up whiter than snow. I'm considering the Brellia Square H&A Cushion, but want to know how different the performance will be. The girlfriend doesn't really like the H&A look when it's magnified to high hell on the computer, but on her finger, will she really notice THAT big of a difference and is it not always best to go with what's brightest & most sparkly?
I have pretty much narrowed my search to James Allen & Good Old Gold, as they seem to have quite a large inventory of Cushion's and I really do like that Jon at GOG invests so much time in educating customers. To me, that shows how passionate he is about it and establishes a bit more credibility in my eyes. I've heard GOG is a bit more expensive though, is that true?
Last question: I'm going to be putting the stone in a rose gold halo and was wondering if that means I can get away with a lower color grade. Does the rose gold make a whiter stone look less so?
Thanks!
